Ilja Dragunov has people he can turn to for advice at WWE NXT.
NXT Superstar Ilja Dragunov was a recent guest on Out of Character with Ryan Satin. When asked who he goes to in the business for advice, Dragunov specifically named Oro Mensah and Shawn Michaels.
“I have some very, very good friends in the business,” Ilja Dragunov said. “For example, Oro Mensah from NXT is a very, very good friend of mine who I’ve known since the NXT UK days. Like, he’s a guy I always come up to and talk a bit more deeper about certain things. And besides that, of course, the people who run the place.
“If I want to have improvement in my work, I’m definitely going to ask Shawn Michaels. So they’re the people who I think are the people I need to go to to know, okay, what I do, it makes sense. I can continue the way I do this and continue to play around with my ideas and be the person I am. So now everything works very well.”
